UNIT 6 THE ADMIRABLE
Nelson Mandela spent 18 years in prison on Robben Island,off the coast of Cape Town.
Today,it’s a major tourist attraction. Visitors are given tours and lectures by former prisoners. Visitors can see the little cell (牢房) where Mandela was held,at first① with only a straw mat (草席) to sleep on,and can visit the limestone quarry (石灰石采石场) where he spent 13 years working along with② other prisoners. On a sunny day,the bright light from the white rock is blinding,but Mandela was refused the use of dark glasses. His eyesight never fully recovered.

UNIT 6 THE ADMIRABLE
Though Mandela may have been a prisoner on Robben Island,he always insisted on③ acting as④ a leader. He complained to visitors about prison conditions and never let himself be bullied (欺负) by the guards. Instead he took an interest in⑤ their lives and problems. He even started reading works by Afrikaner (南非白人的) writers as well as⑥ other favorites like Winston Churchill so that⑦ he could understand their way of thinking. Most important of all,he became the prisoners’ leader and spokesman. Mandela and the other prisoners discussed strategy (策略;计策) and the news from the outside world.
